Yesterday I had my front wheel off and so I took a good look at my brakes to see if they were ok. I had never realy looked all that close before and I gotta say I was impressed. They are huge for such an old car. The caliper thing is cast iron and looks like it weighs a ton. THe disc isn't vented or nothing but looks like it came off an airplane or something. It has wires and stuff coming off the caliper like it had some kinda electrical something or other inside. It was really cool. They look fine, just real old. I checked on the internet and that Girling company is still in business and it looks like they make brakes for europeon cars to this day. Panteras were real advanced for their day. It makes you appreciate the car when you see stuff like this.
